NP: Do you think that those rising costs might lead to even more cross-platform games, and if Nintendo decides to do something radically different with Revolution, is that going to potentially discourage third parties from supporting the platform? Or do you think it might be attractive in terms of trying something different?
SJ: A bit of both, probably. I think it depends how Nintendo rolls out its third-party relations. We’re very excited about the prospects of Revolution, because, like we were talking about earlier, the Nintendo platforms have been great for Sonic and the classic franchises. We think Revolution can absolutely be the same. But I think you’re absolutely right. If Nintendo does choose a different model than Sony and Microsoft, then it might be very difficult for some third parties to adopt this three-pronged, multi-platform approach.

NP: Speaking to that, the collaboration between Nintendo and Sega on F-Zero GX turned out very well. Do you foresee the two companies working together like that again in the future?
SJ: Well, there’s nothing that we can talk about at this point in time. But there’s absolutely nothing to rule it out, either. (Wry smile)
Thats what interested me the most. I loved FZero GX and would be THRILLED if a new installment came out, or even something brand new. Great things happen when great minds come together.
